Bored by Ants.

The most dreaded insect invader is the white ant. Iu Africa, their houses arc dome-shapod mounds often eighteen feet high. These insects erect pyramids one thousand times higher than them selves! The ants on their travels so con- ceal thelr approach that their presence is not suspected until the damage is done. They usually tunnel into any object which they attack, often reducing it to a mere shell. In this way they havc been known to ascend within the leg of a table, devour tho contents of box upon it, and descend through tunnel bored in another leg, all in one night. An officer of tho English army while calling upon some ladies in Ceylon was startled by @ rumbling sound. Tho ladies started with alright, and tho next instant they stood with only tho sky above them; tho roof had fallen in and lay all about, leaving them miraculously unharmcd! The ants had ma le their way up through the beams, ho!lowing them out until grcut part of tue frame work of the house was ready to fall at the slightest shock. - s.. Nicholas.

A Right Smart Nebraska Boy.

'tI want to tell you little story about my boy out in Newbraskey," said an old farmer in the smoking car to party of drummers who had been telling him some pretty tall yarns. "My boy is a good deal of a genius fn his way, femme tell you, and none of 'em gets ahead of him. T'other day he rigged up a kite. It was the biggest kite I'd ever set eyes on. It was about six feet wide, an twice as long, an on top of it my boy placed few green branches which he'd cut from a cottonwood tree. What's them fer2' I inquired. Never you mind, dad, says he: I know what I'm about. And, by gosh, he did. He flew that kite up in the air an stood watchin' of it fer long time, when says to him |: You'd better pull thot thing down, now, dad,' he replied. I'll git thar yet And, by gosh, he did. The next time I took look at him he was hauling in on the broad as furrer. When the kite came down near the ground I saw what he was smilin' at, an 1t was enough to make body smile, too. Any you fel- lers want to guess what was on that kite?"
 None of the drummcrs wanted to guess, and the old man continued his story:
 "Wal, sir, a-sittin' on the top O that kite was eleven O the purtiest wild geese ye ever saw. Yes, sir, eleven on 'em. You see the geese was fyin' North purity thick, an my boy he got up this scheme to catch 'em. There ain't many trees out our way, an after a fat goose has been fyin' purity steady all day he gets kind O tired like an looks around for place to sit down an rest. That's just what my boy was countin' on when he built that kite. By offerin' the geese place to stop an rest, an by smearin the top O the kite with tar so their feet would stick so fast they couldn't get away, he did the business. By gosh but it was fun to pull them geese in. Just as fast as we could send the kite uI and pull her down again we got from ten to dozen geese, an I'm takin' 'en to Chicago now to sell. None O you smart story tellin' fellers don't happen to know what wild geese Is wuth in the Chicago market, do youa"

TERRIBLE FIRE.
$1 SOC, 900 Loss in New York, In-
 cluding 1900 Horses.

In the stables of the Belt Line Street Rail- road Co. were housed 300 horses besides sev- eral hundred cars and immense quantities of harness, hay, feed and other property, when 6rc broke out at 2. @. m.
 The building was of brick, three stories high. The cars were stored on the ground floor, SO that it was comparatively easy to drag many of them out and save them. But the stables were above, and the poor. beasts were at the mercy of the flames.
 Of the l, 400 horrcs standing in the stalls but f0O wcrc saved. These were brought out with great difficulty, the poor affrighted animals resisting the efforts of those who would lead CT drive them 10 places of safety.
 Opposite tho stables were a TOW of two-story frame tenemcnts, occupied by laboring people and their families The high curling flames of the burning stables and the intense heat occasioned soon ignited these infammable structures, from which the tenants barely es- caped with their lives, abandoning their cloth ing and household goods to the reckless flames. The cries of the affrighted men. women and children as they rushed into the street clad only in their scant night apparel was pitiful in the extreme, and appealed loudly to the sympathies of the gathering multitude. Hap spily all the tenants of these structures, so far ! as known, escaped with their lives.
 Almost at the same time the wild flames leapcd across Fifty-fourth street and spread the eondagration to five large fivestory brick tener,ents, all densely populated, many of whose tenants were wrapped in tho deep, peaceful sleep which follows honest toll.
 But Justly cries of alarm were quickly raised in the halls, and it is believed that all were reused in time to escape, though many xere compelled to seek the fire escapes as their only means of exit, the halls and stairways being already filled with smeke and flame. s
 Though from forty to fifty families were thus imperilled in this block. only one death has thus far been reported, though the loss of furniture and clothing was complete.
 Ten tenement houses were destroyed. Many terrible scenes were enacted in rescuing the inmates. The fire was got under control about o'clock.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AT THE
 - OPERA COMIQUE IN PARIS. e.
There are Many Victims-Firemen Hurt-A Scene of Awful Panic.

The Opera Comique took fire and the whole building was soon wrapped in flames. r The fire broke out during the frs act of the opera G Mignon." One of the wings caught fire from gas jet, and the entire stage was immediately enveloped in flames. The fire viller and NM. Tasquin and Bernard were on the stage when the fire began.
 The audience got out easily, but the gas was turned off before all had left the building, and some were left in the upper tiers.
 The roof soon fell in, sending showers of sparks as far as the Place de Ia Bourse. With the exception of Mme. Sellier, who perished in the flames, all the actors escaped, though sev- eral of the supernumaries were injured se- verely.
 the National Library. Among them was the body of a woman, clasping little boy ill her arms. The frenen showed great courage
 Two thousand people were in the theatre when the fire occurred.
 The search amid the ruins reveals the fact that the loss of life was far greater than was at at first supposed. Many people in the audience perished, and it is believed that the victims will number nearly if not quite 200. Twenty bodies in terribly mutilated con- dition were recovered from the ruins. The re- mains were principally those of ballet girls, choristers and machinists. Five of the bodies are those of elderly ladies, and one of them is that of child. The iremen lowered some of the bodies from the fourth story of the theatre by means of ropes.
 Later the bodies of eighteen ladies, all in full dress, were found lying together at the bottom of the stairway leading from the second story. These ladies all had escorts to the the | atre, but no remains of men were found any where near where the women were burned .to death.
 | The remains of three men and two women were found in the stage box, where the victims had taken refuge from the flames. Twenty more bodies were recovered still later from the ruins, the remains being recog- | nizable only by means of trinkets.

A New Gem..The Golden Beryl.

Jewellers, mincralogists and connois- seurs of precious stones are much inter ested in new gem lately discovered in Connecticut. It is a beryl distinguis shed by peculiar golden tint which repdcrs it, in the opinion of experts, unique. It was found attached to rock com posed of quartz, spar and mica, a con- bination which appears to be the natural matrix of beryl stones. Others have been found in the same locality pre- viously, but they were of the ordinary variety and of very poor quality, quite unfit for use as gems. The golden bcryl, however, attracted immediate attention, was pronounced new mineral and placed ill the hands of lapidary to cut into gems. The result did not dis appoint expectation. The stones proved exceedingly brilliant, with much of the fire and play of light and color, hitherto believed to belong to the diamond only. Three shades of the golden color have been obtained, ranging from pro- 
 nounced fiat, to one scarcely yellower than that~of slightly off color dia- mond.
 The new stones have made quite stir in the trade, and rank in value with rubies, emeralds and other colorcd gems They have been set in ornaments, gener- ally in association with small diamonds, and have been much admired, both here and in Europe, whero few have beef,eent.
 The hardness of the stone is 1-2, as compared with the diamond stand. ard, 10. Its density is next to that of the diamond, while its specific gravity is 90 per cent less. It retains it's bril-
 iancy. It is especially interesting as the only precious stone found exclu sively in this country.-[Ncw York Com 1 mercial

WORLDS FAIR IN 1892.
Some Reasons for Choosing Staten
 Island as the Site.

The subject is being discussed of holding mammoth Worlds Fair in 1892 to celebrate the 400 anniversary of the discovery of Ameri- ca. Such fair should, as matter of course, be held in or near New York city, and Staten Island is, beyond all compar son, the best place to hold it. Here abundant space can be secured Cat a small cost) for the most extensive grounds and buildings. The grounds can easily be severed and drained in to the Bay or Kill Won Kull and thus the dangers which threat
 cned visitors at Philadelphia will be avoided. The sea breezes will make the grounds com paratively comfortable and the air pure and wholesome during the hot weather. The buildings can be located near the shore and articles for exhibition and building material can be brought and delivered on the ground at the lowest possible cost for transportation. Long before the time for the fair to open it is probable one, and possible two bridges across the Kills will have been finished, and Staten Island will have direct railroad connection with the South and West. But the greatest advantage will be the unlimited means of travel between the Island and New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City where the immense throng which would attend such a fair can
 find ample accommodations. .-.Saudau Times

As Many Women as Men.

There arc still few theorists who jus- tify polygamy on the ground that more women are born into the world than men but the theory has long been exploded. August Rebel, in his remarkable work, recently translated into English, shows that in 10 states with population of 250, 900, 900 the excess of females over males was only 3, 500, 900; and when we remember the extent to which mon out number women in the colonies, and the fact that in. India there are 6,00o, 900 more men than women, the natural in- ference is that if the inhabitants of the earth were distributed according to the sexes men and women would be found tc exist in about equal proportions, --IAl the Year Round.

The Fastest Boat in the World.

Messrs. Thorneycroft, the torpedo-boat build CTS of Chiss ick, England, have just complet- ed a new torpedo boat for the Spanish Govern ment, which for speed has beaten anything that has yet been built. The new boat is 147 feet inches in length. has a beam of IA feet inches, and draws feet 8 inches of water She has twin-screw compound engines, which act independently of each other, while the steering gear consists of two curved rudders which make her the handiest vessel of tho class yet afloat, as she is able to turn about in three times her own length going at ordinary speed, which WAS 5.S4 knots with the natural draught.
 On trip the other day with the tide in her favor and forced draught she attained the ex- traordinary speed of 9O1 knots or 8 rate of nearly 331 miles an hour. Her times on the measured knot were, for two runs of knot each with the tide, minutes 10 seconds and 2 minutes IL seconds; while against the tide for three runs the record was minutes 25 seconds, ? minutes g seconds, and minutes 25L seconds-giving . mean speed of 26.18 knots, or over 30 miles an hour.
 She is divided into number of watertight compartments, and in case of being hulled by shot is fitted with electors capable of discharg- ing 40O tons of water per hour. She has two torpedo tubes in the bows, and has space to carry four Schwartzkofpt torpedoes, and will mount four Nordenfeldt machine guns.
